Most retailers are to looking get products and services into the hands and eyes of customers anytime, anywhere, coupled with a high-quality and consistent brand experience. One-way engagement mechanisms such as SMS, email, print, and TV advertising are passive, akin to sending a letter via stagecoach and then waiting around wondering, “Did they receive it?”

Now augmented reality apps are emerging that deliver rich, highly interactive, two-way experiences that visually engage customers and extend products and services to fingertip access, both inside and outside the store. Central to AR apps is they are tailor-made for mobile devices. Houzz reports that mobile users who engage AR are 11x more likely to purchase and spend 2.7x more time in the app.
